Introduce first tdc tests for P4TC pipeline, which are focused on the
control path. We test pipeline create, update, delete and dump.

Here is a basic description of what we test for each operation:

Create:
    - Create valid pipeline
    - Try to create pipeline without specifying mandatory arguments
    - Create pipeline without specifying optional arguments and check
      optional values after creation
    - Try to create pipeline passing invalid values for numttypes
    - Try to create pipeline passing invalid values for maxrules
    - Try to create pipeline with same name twice
    - Try to create pipeline with same id twice
    - Create pipeline with pipeline id == INX_MAX (2147483647) and check
      for overflow warning when traversing pipeline IDR
    - Create pipeline with name length > PIPELINENAMSIZ

Update:
    - Update pipeline with valid values for numttypes, maxrules,
      preactions and postactions
    - Try to update pipeline with invalid values for maxrules and numttypes
    - Try to seal pipeline which is not ready
    - Check action bind and ref values after pipeline preaction update
    - Check action bind and ref values after pipeline postaction update

Delete:
    - Delete pipeline by name
    - Delete pipeline by id
    - Delete inexistent pipeline by name
    - Delete inexistent pipeline by id
    - Try to flush pipelines
    - Check action bind and ref values after pipeline deletion

Dump:
    - Dump pipeline IDR
    - Dump pipeline IDR when amount of pipelines > P4TC_MAXMSG_COUNT (16)
